The shipment from the model shop arrives

Power controllers Monday a guy from the LMZ model shop at (meanwhile) Emsdetten called me; the shop will ship my ship parts shortly :-). Tuesday the stuff arrived, but since I had forgotten to leave Annie some money she could not accept the parcel. At the post office I got told I can't have it before Wednesday :-(

Main engine
So I picked up the stuff today, and from the weight of the parcel I immediately knew at least the lead acid batteries were missing (and the rudder, as it turned out). What I got: the Robbe 755/40 main engine (nice format), the Robbe 100uP power controller, two Robbe 50uP power controllers, a Robbe digital servo for the rudder, and two bow thrusters (one will actually work as a stern thruster). All in all EUR284,-, which is over EUR40,- cheaper then what the Robbe caralogue says. Nice discount! "Come again"...

Started assembling the thrusters, but found I need oil for the bearings and grease for the rubber fittings. Installed some software on Lohi for this and that - AC.motion probably will be the only model ship with OpenOffice on board :-)
